REUSABLE FOR CAMPING
TWO DAYS,
STILL COLD.
Milk for the morning brew, sausages for the second night and a cold one at the end of the track. Without a servo run for more ice.
HOW LONG WILL A CHILLY BIN STAY COLD WHEN CAMPING?
With Kiwi Cubes, up to 48 hours. That covers a classic Friday night to Sunday arvo weekend at a DOC campsite, a lake or the bach.
The trick is to treat the chilly bin like a fridge with no power. Freeze your cubes for at least 24 hours, pre-chill the bin, pack it full and open it as little as you can. Keep the drinks in a second bin if you have one, because the drinks bin gets opened every five minutes.
And because nothing melts, the bottom of the bin stays dry. No soggy bread, no floating sausages.

CAMPING QUESTIONS
IS REUSABLE ICE BETTER THAN BAGGED ICE FOR CAMPING
For trips of a day or two, yes. There is no melt water to drain, food stays dry and you do not need to find a servo to buy more ice. For trips longer than two days, refreeze a bag at the bach or campground freezer if you can.
CAN I REFREEZE KIWI CUBES WHILE I'M AWAY?
Yes. Pop the mesh bag in any freezer and they are good to go again once frozen solid.
WILL THEY KEEP MEAT AND MILK SAFE?
They keep a well-packed chilly bin cold for up to 48 hours. As with any chilly bin, keep raw meat sealed and cook it within a day or two.
SHOULD I USE CUBES OR A BLOCK
Cubes fill the gaps around food and drinks, which cools things faster and more evenly than a single block.
